The Azul Apartments

There was just a shooting here on 11/3, one person was shot and killed and another was just arrested. These apartments are not the best, its basically just somewhere to lay your head down. I am just now being told I owe an amount from a collections agency from a Utilities bill from my old apartment but I got no notice before moving that I owed anything and there was a 0 dollar amount on my account. The water smells funny, the city is constantly out here checking it and there are roaches. While… the apartments may look nice, there are still constant maintenance issues. I do NOT recommend moving here, yes they are cheap but not worth the hassle. Read More

Don’t lease here the manager is unfair and will retaliate against residents when they are upset about ongoing issues. She even blocked one of my visitors from being able to register their car so they can’t visit me. Hopefully corporate calls back and is able to fix the issue before I have to get HUD involved

We weren't allowed to tour the grounds before moving in. After we signed our lease, they tried to bully us into signing a different one because the employee had done their math incorrectly, and they wanted to charge us more. The employee was very short with me over the phone, almost to the point of yelling, saying they could just cancel the lease and we didn't have "ownership of the apartment" because we hadn't put any money down - when in fact, we had put money down when we paid for our… applications; if you're approved, a portion of that fee goes towards your security deposit. After fighting with them all day, and reading their own lease to them, they finally stopped threatening us and we were allowed to move in. (The Azul claims that the application and administrative fees aren't applied to the security deposit. If they'd read their own lease, they'd see that paragraph 3 states, "In addition to any application fee, you have delivered to our representative an application deposit in the amount indicated in paragraph 14. The application deposit is not a security deposit, but it will be credited toward the required security deposit when the lease contract has been signed by all parties.")
When we moved in, several things were broken or just poorly redone. All of the paint throughout the apartment is sloppy. For some reason, they painted the tub and the tile, too. It's peeling away and looks awful (since this review has been posted, they offered to repaint the tub, but we'd have to vacate the apartment with our dogs and fish for 72 HOURS in order for that to happen!!!).
I also saw a small roach the first night we moved in, and four more roaches the following month. They did spray for roaches at my request.
The doors and windows aren't insulated at all. Our electricity bill for January was $173.
There's a feral colony of cats living on the grounds.
Neighbors can frequently be heard playing music, arguing or just talking loudly, stomping across the floor, etc. The complex is across the street from a fire station and right off of 635, so there are always police sirens going and very loud highway noise.
My boyfriend got his car towed here despite the fact that he's a resident, and the Azul didn't bother to resolve the issue. He had to pay $80 to get his car back. Two days ago, my dog cut his paw on one of the many pieces of broken glass just outside our door. So that's great. Read More

Great place to live. The office staff is friendly and is on top of any issue you have.
